Question

The ratio between the present ages p and q is 3:4 respectively if q's present age is 20 years . What will be the ratio of the ages agter 5 years

Answer 1

Hey


Let the ratio constant be x .

So ,

present age of p = 3x

present age of q = 4x

Also ,

given that present age of q is 20 years .

So

4x = 20

=> x = 5

So present age of p = 3( 5 )

= 15 years .

Now ,

5 years later ,

age of p = 20 years .

age of q = 25 years .

So ,

ratio = 20 / 25

= 4 / 5

Ratio = 4 : 5 .


thanks :)

Answer 2

Hey there!!
Down here⏬

▪ Let the present ages of p be 3x and q be 4x

▪ 4x = 20
x = 20/4 = 5 yrs

▪ age of q = 4x
= 4×5 = 20 yrs

▪ age of p = 3x
= 3× 5 = 15 yrs

▪ After 5 yrs,

▪ p's age = 15+5 = 20 yrs
q's age = 20+5 = 25 yrs

▪ Ratio of p:q = 20/25
= 4/5
= 4:5

Hope it helps ❤
